Match Reaction - Dortmund

[Letters]

Yeah they were hardly hanging on, like I said we never even had a shot after going 2-0 up did we.

No. In the few minutes left, we didn't. It's not like we got the 2nd goal at 70 minutes and then failed to push on, it was late in the game.

Arteta was one of our better players last night.

Arteta made 11 tackles I hear somewhere.

Why.

Do.

You.

Bother.

?

I.

Don't.

Know.

There is nothing deluded about seeing exactly what happened. Bayern made it through on a technicality - the slimmest margin possible as they cowered to corner flags desperately wasting as much tme as they could. Barca were subsequently murdered in both legs.

That 'pointless result' has been followed by some of the best and most prolonged set of good results this Club has seen in many years. And it is a key reason why we've seen next to fuck all from you all season.

There is when one side clearly didn't turn up, thus to believe that it was somehow some amazing performance and result is stretching the truth to say the least. Against Barca they were on their game, just like in the 1st leg against us when they put us to the sword at home. The 2nd leg display was puzzling to say the least, it was as if they were playing a training match.

The run this season has nothing to do with last season, player's form is not something that continues when you've had 2-3 months without a game, a new season is a new start and often you finish one season on a winning run and start the next with some poor results. We've started very well but that has nothing to do with the end of last season (in fact we lost our 1st game this season), it's more to do with Ozil and the buzz signing top players creates.

I've posted but as I said before, this place is boring when we win, there's no discussion it's just a succession of posts of how we've played well and how this and that player has been great, it's not condusive to discussion....you post your opinion on the result, praise a few players and then get on with your day.

Poor results/performances give you something to talk about and discuss, or in the case of some posters come out with sarcastic sh*t about.

Arteta made 11 tackles I hear somewhere.

He won 11 out of 12 tackles! 8 ball recoveries and was our top passer with 80/88 passes. Kos and Merts were 2nd and 3rd! Our midfield weren't up to par.

Ozil made the most final third passes. 19/23. Sagna was second for us. 15/23. Rosicky third. 12/19.

Wilshire was poor.
Passes 13/20
Final 3rd passes 4/9
Take ons 1/6 - The amount of unsuccessful dribbles is getting on my nerves. He's top of the pile with attempted dribbles for both teams.
Tackles - 0/1

No one called it an amazing performance.
There was nothing puzzling.
Bayern were not playing a training match - it was an ECL knockout match.
The sequence of results started following that match and has subsequently continued into this season.
It is a sequence of results (including losses) that has not been bettered by any club in this country during the same timeframe.
You are nowhere to be seen when we win - but its 'happy days are here again' for you when we don't.
Just about every point you have made in this thread has been conjecture based upon whatever it is that goes on inside your head.
You place more weight on conjecture than on facts.

All 11 probably tackling the shadow.
